The Girl Over There

The Girl Over There Look at the girl over there, the little blond one hopscotching on the corner. She used to be me or was I her? She can’t still hop but never runs out of chalk and potsy stones are everywhere. Wanna play? ©Kathryn McLoughlin Collins

Ah yes... time passes... swiftly... yeah, would like to play too, but if both of us "can't still hop"... well, I guess reminiscing is also good... ;-) Anyway, a great poem... Terry

Delightful! You'll never grow old, if poems like this are anything to go by. You'll always be 'the little blond one.' Love, Keith
